• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I was lead to this site by a friend. Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields

I started a search for an Airfield called Beacon Field Airport near Washington DC.
My Granddad, Uncle and Father flew out of that airport in the 40's and 50's.
I was looking at some of the pictures and found a picture of my granddad.

My Uncle got his Multi check-out in that T-50 Bamboo Bomber.

Granddad, the one with glasses. That was around 1955.
He had a Ryan Stationair, Aeronca and a Lockheed Vega during that time. All my Dad had to do was put gas in it and fly them.
I never seen that picture until today.Edited by: dsnaproll
